at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.

I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.

Hi,
I have recently encountered a wired problem. Searched for web for similar issues, seen few same issue, but differ a bit.
I recently was surprised that phone stopped ringing or sound an sms alert or any other app alert such as WhatApp.
I tried to change the sound in sound settings for SMS, Whatsapp, Calls and Handcent app. All of which, didn't do any sound at all. When I select another sound within the apps, nothing is played. Some of them, played a standard beep instead.
I realized also that the alarm had a problem. It simply didn't sound at all at morning and therefore I was late to work that day :-(
anyways, I read on the net, few said, remove the battery for few seconds, did so, and helped, but problem comes up again. So I decided not to remove the battery anymore as it is a temp. solution only.
Some said, in Applicatoin settings, Sound Sets, clear data. Did that, and sometimes helps other doesn't. So another temp. solution.
Sometimes when it happens, I keep trying selecting different sounds, open different apps, changing their notification sounds, and suddenly, I can hear something when changing notification sound, then I know it is back again.
Now it has been happening for around 10 days, and didn't figure it out. I might need to do a hard-reset, but prefer not to as I hate installing all the apps (lots) I have installed and doing all the settings again. It takes long time. So I need another solution.
Something is strange, I am almost sure its not a faulty hardware, but maybe an app that interfere with something.
Anybody experienced such thing?
My phone is not rooted. This just started this week. I have not adjusted any settings for quite a while so I am pretty sure I did not do anything to cause it.
Since getting my Note 3 in October I use the voice method of inputting text for email and sms quite often. When starting a message where I want to voice inpput, I click the microphone button and speak what I want to send. Works well for me. Thursday the phone started making a loud, very annoying, beep type sound whenever I launch this by clicking the microphone. It happens even when the phone is in silent mode. I checked the sound options in the phone settings and everything is set as it has always been. All system and keyboard sounds are turned off. I also tried another keyboard app rather than the phone default and it is the same with that.
Does anyone have an idea why this started and how to silence it? Thanks!
I guess this is not an issue for others here. I did find the exact problem on another forum and it started for him just a few days ago also. So maybe something updated automatically that caused this. We will see if more people start complaining about it. By the way we have tried a few different suggestions, including resets, but nothing turns off the noise yet.
0n edit: I looked at my apps to see what recently updated. One of the recent updates was to Google Search. I uninstalled all the updates to Google Search and the problem is gone. So it is a bug in the most recent update to Google Search that turns on that sound with no way to turn it off.

active non-LG or Google apps: Nova Launcher, AccuBattery, WhatsApp, Instagram, two banking apps. that's it!
missed a bunch of phone calls and texts today, discovered all ringtones and notifications were dead. in Settings, confirmed that all volumes were up, Airplane mode was off, etc. the crazy thing: on the ringtones / notifications screens, clicking on any/all of them produced no sound. none of them worked. and strangely, playing music or videos or youtube still worked fine.
rebooted and everything is working again, for now.
ugh. it happened again. missed a bunch of calls in the last two hours, and also the courier at my front door.
but it's unpredictable: earlier this morning i got a text message notification. but after that ... nothing. phone did not ring, but when i checked the ringtones and notifications and contacts, they all seemed to work.
anyone else have this happen?

something definitely wonky. might try another reset. again, this issue is intermittent / unpredictable:
took phone calls this morning at 7:53am and 8:00am. when i checked the call log, i saw that i missed an incoming call at 7:47am -- and the voicemail notification -- before these other calls.

I'm facing the same issue. Miss a lot of calls/text/alarms every day. I don't know when it's going to happen. A restart fixes it. I'll tell you what I've observed till now:
1. Can happen anytime. The sound will stop coming from speakers/headphones.
2. A reboot will fix it
3. Phone not on silent. Face down silent setting Off. Answer incoming call setting Off.
4. Notification/ringtone/system volume at max
5. No sounds, except for music, will come from the speakers
6. I put the phone on vibrate. Connected headphones. Called myself. There was a very very faint ringtone coming through the headphones.
Reverted to sound mode. Called again. No sound anywhere. Not from the speaker. Not from headphones.
7. Called LG customer care. They couldn't fix it.
I'm 100% sure that this is a software issue as a reboot fixes it. It might be because of a third party app. I've put my phone in safe mode to check if the issue resurfaces. Will inform on it after 24 hours of testing.
If anyone gets any solution please report.

Does anyone know how to disable the Alert Ready system in Canada on a NON-rooted phone, so I don't get these stupid notifications? 99.9% of these are so far away that they're pointless.
I already disabled the Emergency Alerts option in the Messages app but that doesn't appear to have worked.
Has any tried removing com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver through ADB? Not sure the consequences of doing that...Might just screw everything up lol. I haven't had time to test.
Thanks.

If you have TWRP recovery, just make a full backup and try.
Did you get this to work? I want to turn them off as well!
I'm not rooted and didn't have time to backup and try.
It should work but you will lose all system broadcasts (data usage notification, roaming notification, etc.)
So I finally had the time to try this after being woke up several times at 3 and 3:45am for an alert happening 1600km's (1000 miles) away and this didn't work.
There is no package on my phone called com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Quite honestly if you guys don't have anyone to call you for whatever reason in the middle of the night, make a "routine" for silent mode during your hours of sleep. I'm in Canada and I was never woken up by these messages. My phone goes to vibrate from midnight to 6am. Barely an inconvenience...
Yeah, unfortunately I can't put my phone into silent mode or turn off for the night.
I don't mind getting amber alerts, I think they are important, I just need to get rid of the sound lol. I wish there was an option to disable the loud alert and just get them silently - If I'm out during the day, I would see them even if they are a silent notification.
FYI - it looks like putting the phone in silent mode or turning on do not disturb doesn't work for stopping the Canada Alert Ready broadcast.
Still looking a way to mute the alert...
I've been wondering too... Got like 6 in a row today about 5 minutes apart each, same thing for 1000s miles away. I tried within messages app but no dice despite there being settings available.
I did just try blocking that number those all came from to see what happens there if anything.
The odd thing also is, when one comes through it changes my notification vibration intensity to far less in my settings. And for whatever reason, my keyboard vibration seems attached to that setting too. So to type after getting these alerts I was missing most of that haptic feedback that I enjoy - though most don't. Finally figured it out
I don't understand the many in a row with the same info. Thankfully I was awake at the time, this time.
I wouldn't mind at all if they pop up, with no sound and no vibration. But no such luck so far.
I'm not even sure as a rooted user what I could do to stop them. My last device didn't support them. This is new to me! I would keep this device in wcdma mode and avoid completely, but for whatever reason texts take SO long to send on anything except LTE...

i was getting them on my Cricket S9 until i flashed the U1 firmware and removed any sign of cricket from the phone. I havent got one alert since then
I bought my phone outright unlocked though from best buy .ca, not from a carrier so it's not carrier branded at all. Seems the sim card presence is all it takes to perform alerts....
i *may* have come across something! I wont know until theres another alert whether or not these settings are overridden as well when amber alerts come in. But just tonight, kind of my accident, I had plugged in my phone to my PC, and while intending to change usb connection type, i actually found a whole other menu of settings. the notification for "usb for file transfer" given by Android System, I accidently long held on it, and then i got curious so i clicked details. that brings up this menu of android system notifications, one of which is "alerts" which was by default set to urgent under importance. scroll down a bit more theres another option "network alerts" which was also set to urgent.
Ive fixed both of these. And now, we wait... this may have already been tried, im not sure. but i just wanted to share in case it hadnt
Didn't know that menu existed. My 'alerts' was set to sound (beep once) and the 'network alerts' was set to sound and pop-up. Not sure if these are for the network alerts like amber alerts or for other alerts such as roaming, etc. I live close to the border and will go down next week. I usually get a data and roaming alert when I cross into the US. I'll see if I still get it with those two turned off. Have to wait and see with the emergency alerts...

Hmm interesting keep us posted! I wondered if they were all in the same category, maybe severe weather and amber are "alerts" and roaming is "network alerts" ? Not sure but maybe? Either way I put both to no sound. I don't mind the visual popup, it's the overriding sound settings that scared the crap out of me while sleeping. Silent is fine
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So I went to the USA twice in the past week. I had the 'Alerts' turned off both times and:
First trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned ON and I received my alert that I was roaming.
Second trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned OFF and I did not received my alert that I was roaming.
So that definitely prevents the alerts from your service provider. We'll have to wait and see with the next amber alert if it prevents that as well.
So we got an alert tonight... I can't say on vibration, but my phone was on silent and it definitely didn't make that horrific screeching sound. I wasn't in the room so I can't speak on if it still vibrated or not. I have mine set for visual only but no sound or vibration... Hopefully if there's an update I'll be next to my device to confirm further on if its totally silent like I set it to or if it over rides and still vibrates... But horrific screech is definitely gone so far [emoji846]
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So I had my phone on me for the first alert and the volume of my phone was turned down. I received the alert and the horrible screeching sound but it was at the volume I had my ringer set to so the volume was low.
I turned my phone to vibrate after that in case there were updates - I didn't want to be woken up. Not sure if my phone vibrated or not but there was no sound for any of the updates I received (two I think total).
I never received anything from today's amber alert text - no popup, no annoying sound, nothing at all.
I use Google Messages for my text messages and did the following in Samsung Messages:
1. In Samsung Messages>Settings, I disabled all permissions and blocked all notifications under all sub categories.
2. In Phone Settings>Apps I selected Samsung Messages and under App Settings I blocked all notifications, revoked all permissions, set Appear on top, Change system settings and Install unknown apps to Not Allowed. I also Force Stopped Samsung Messages to be sure.
Then I set Google Messages as the default messaging app.
Another user on Reddit wrote:
"This technique works because the Android Messages app expects the com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver package to handle WEA message (so Android Messages doesn't have any code to receive them), and the Samsung Messages app (which you can't remove, which does have WEA support) no longer has any permissions to receive anything, so it can't alert you even if it wanted to. This deadlock basically ensures you won't get alerts, provided you never enable Samsung Messages ever again."
This disables all alerts. It's too bad they didn't develop this system to allow users to silence the alerts. I'd be fine with a popup or message, I just don't want to be woken up at 3am to a blaring siren for something happening 1000km away from me...
I can confirm that even without disabling Samsung messages, all the other settings I had changed made it so that only a silent pop up happened. No screeching, no vibration, just the visual message only. My device was set to silent.
Still can't say what kind of sound it would make if my sound were on or if it would just stay silent. But with the goal being to not jolt me awake and terrify me, I'd say mission accomplished!
I don't mind the visual one at all. In that regard I only mind when it's duplicates of the exact same alert. Just because you'd think they'd want to work all the bugs out before starting to use it.
But if they're testing it today, I guess that means they're at least working on it. Progress!!
Personally I use a different third party texting app cuz I love my theming. But I bet it's similar to android messages where it doesn't have the ability.
I'll sometimes see alerts later in with my regular messages, but it doesn't screech at me. That's what matters lol.
When you've got a disability that limits you, you can't exactly help search to begin with. If anything real alerts just produce a bit of guilt in me that I can't do more to help even if it was for something actually close by.
Side thought though, when it is a true amber alert, instead of just a text description, why don't they also send pictures? It would be so much more helpful. How many guys have dark hair and drive a pickup truck, an accompanying picture would go a long way. Maybe in the future that will be a next step? [emoji848]
I've had my Mi A1 for over a year now and have almost always had it on vibrate, so all calls/notifications cause the phone to vibrate, but any media that gets played will be at the volume set for media.
Over the past couple of weeks though, notifications (not sure about calls, don't get many of them) will play the notification sound at the volume set for media. I can only get them to shut off if I mute the media volume. I've tried changing the volume for both media and ringing, and restarting the device, but to no avail. I either have to leave it muted and miss notifications, or leave it unmuted and get a jumpscare each time (it also plays notifications when I'm on a call, and you can imagine the jumpscare I get with my phone at my ear and a sudden loud notification).
I recently started using Bose QC35 ii headphones through Bluetooth with my phone, but I don't think that has anything to do with it because it was working fine with them before.
I've searched Google for this kind of issue but couldn't find anything other than standard instructions on adjusting the volume. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this (without doing a full reset of the phone, hopefully)?
EDIT: this is a stock ROM, I've never flashed anything new on it

So I solved this by going into Settings > Accessibility > Vibration and turning Ring & notification vibration off, restarting, and then on again. I was able to use the Pushy app to send test notifications so that I didn't have to wait for a friend to send me a message or something of the sort. My vibration mode now works as intended (not sure about calls, I don't know how I can test those without having a friend call me), and loud notifications according to the volume set for the ringer.
So as it turns out, today I once again got sound notifications, despite having set my phone to vibrate only. What could be resetting the sound profile like this (note that the ringer volume is still at zero) that the notifications play sound at the media volume? Anyone have any idea on this?

Why not just set them individually, it won't take long, when I first got my A1 I did just this.
Each time I got a notification I just pulled down and pressed the notification and customised it, most I turned off, the rest I either set to vibrate, a custom sound or left as it was.
Calls are easy to take care of, set ring volume to zero and it only vibrates.
For me:
I want a sound when I get a SMS.
I want a custom sound when I get a call.
I want no notification of gmail, (it would be going off constantly)
I only want Vibrate from WhatsApp messages.
Can't think of others but I think everything else is silenced.
If that is no good try "Volume butler" which will add a seperate volume control for notifications, not used it myself but it should do the trick: https://www.guidingtech.com/separate-ringtone-notification-volume-android/

The only downside of doing them individually is that I can't turn them all back on with one setting, as on some infrequent occasions I do want to hear them because I be expecting a message and not necessarily feel the phone in my pocket. and it seems I have to wait for the actual notification to come up? (can't seem to find the setting under the standard notifications settings menu).
I'll have a look at Volume butler, but it sure is disappointing that this would break when it was a nice feature to use.
This seems to be a general Android bug with some bluetooth devices: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...s-with-duplicate-alerts-and-ignored-settings/

Wow, thank you so much! I now at least know it isn't a unique issue for me, and have an idea of what causes it.

You're welcome, and seems that possibly if you unpair your BT device and reboot, you could get your notifications back to normal, but then you don't have your headset available...
Since the issue started outside of a system update, there is a chance it was introduced by a Google App or Play Services update, in which case hopefully Google will fix it soon since it's affecting a lot the Pixel phones.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I have a workaround for this that I came across in one of the dicussions somewhere. Inside Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Notifications I can turn off notifications for Google completely. I've also turned off Google Assistant under Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Google Assistant. I don't remember which of those actually resulted in the behavior not returning, but I'm pretty sure I don't need either, so I'm OK with it for now. (actually, do Google Security notifications come under the Google app or some other one?)
PS: reboot is actually not necessary, it seems force stopping Google Assistant or Google resets the notification settings (but yes, I want my headset hahaha).

Thanks! I will "just sit tightly" (as it says on the update) :laugh: as I wait for the update.
